12155. (photo) Old U.S. Coast Guard Station, Nauset Beach, Eastham c.1978. Original large 9” x 13 ½ b/w National Park Service aerial photograph provides wonderful view of the old Coast Guard station at Nauset Beach on Cape Cod after the great storm of 1978 washed out the entire parking lot into the sea. Great detail of the changes resulting from the storm. After this storm, the roadway leading to the station had to be moved west to re-connect with the station. Another loss from this storm was Henry Beston’s cottage “The Fo’Castle”. Beston spent a year in this cottage in the 1920’s, writing of life and nature on an outer beach. His book, The Outermost House, was published in 1929 and has become a classic in modern literature. Superb image, great for framing. Dated May 27, 1978. (F-). $78.
